Chattanooga Plane Crash & Boating Accident Attorneys
Compassionate Representation for Tennessee Air & Waterway Victims
A plane crash often has devastating consequences for the pilot, the passengers, and anyone or anything in the plane’s path. Boating accidents are notoriously hazardous because the danger of drowning exists. As with other victims of vehicle accidents, victims of aviation or boating accidents are entitled to compensation for physical and emotional injuries, medical costs (including future expenses), loss of life, and loss of property. The greater your loss, the more critical to contact the best attorney for help.
For more than 75 years, the personal injury attorneys at Berke, Berke & Berke have helped Tennessee residents in the Chattanooga area recover monetary damages caused by boating accidents and plane crashes.
We handle all matters on a contingency basis—meaning there’s no cost to you until we win compensation through settlement or trial. We strive for dedicated representation to all of our clients. Call (423) 266-5171 today
Thorough Accident Reconstruction for Tennessee Plane Crashes
A key to recovery in an aviation accident is determining the cause of the crash to assign liability to the responsible party. It is vital to piece together through accident reconstruction the correct sequence of events to ensure protection and recovery for a victim.
- The FAA cites five major causes of aviation accidents:
- Flawed assumption: A mistaken expectation that a person, plane, or part will perform in a manner that leads to a safe outcome
- Human error: The most common of all accident themes—it exists in one form or another on nearly all accidents
- Organizational lapse: A breakdown in process that prevents a sign of impending accident from being recognized, or safety intervention from being initiated
- Pre-existing failures: Latent conditions or active faults that pose no hazard individually but in combination can cause an accident
- Unintended effect: A change intended to improve performance, but actually produces an undesirable outcome
Reconstructing an aviation accident to determine the precise cause is highly technical work that requires thorough knowledge and tested experience. Make sure your attorney has the resources to handle high-value, high-pressure litigation, and can point to a track record of success—like Berke, Berke, & Berke.
Understanding Boating Accidents on Tennessee Rivers and Lakes
Accidents involving commercial or private watercraft have many causes—including operator error and vehicle defect—which presume personal or corporate responsibility. Alcohol consumption is a major cause of recreational boating accidents, often producing terrible consequences. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the influence of alcohol is involved in nearly one in five boating fatalities.
Seeking Justice for Wrongful Death in Tennessee Aviation & Boating Accidents
When an accident claims the lives of crew, passengers, or additional victims, their loved ones are unfairly deprived of companionship, affection, and the financial security the deceased may have contributed. If you’ve lost a loved one and are reeling, you need a skilled wrongful death attorney who can maximize the recovery for your terrible loss.
